[cobirds] Ruddy Turnstone in Bent County

Birders,

One of my great pleasures is connecting birds I find with people that want to see them. I found and photographed a beautiful alternate (breeding) Ruddy Turnstone while canoeing this morning at John Martin Reservoir. Unfortunately, this bird was far offshore on the back side of an island closed to the public to protect nesting Piping Plovers. I apologize for not being able to provide directions or more specific information. I don't really think the chances of birders having a successful chase would be very good.

For the enjoyment of those interested, here is a picture I took this morning.
